"withheld some accounts of Saddam Hussein's brutality for years to protect the lives of Iraqi sources"

I wish there was a congressional investigation about the press's role in aiding and comforting an 'enemy'...... I mean this happened during the Gulf war (with Arnett) and was still going on during this recent conflict at Baghdad Bob's hotel and all the 'minders' that conrolled the press. So their reporting was 'biased', giving aid and comfort etc.
Unfortunately, 'freedom of the press' would win out, I guess. But...... this should simply not be a topic for analysis by other journalistic analysts, but should be something significanntly more. I wonder how CNN is reporting the recent executions in Cuba.
Oh.... I feel like going on a rant.
Didn't Jordan feel any comlicity in KNOWING that 5,000 children a year (for 12 years) were dying because the UN oil for food program money was being diverted?? I think he knew. I wonder.......
Oh well..... just hoping more (like truthful and accurate reporting) will come of this situation with the press reporting in these regimes across the world.
